Langdysse in Emmedsbo

Floor plan of a polygonal diaphragm - scheme

The east-west oriented Langdysse in Emmedsbo is located in the eponymous forest, east of Bønnerup Strand on the Djursland peninsula in Jutland in Denmark .

An almost intact hexagonal polygonal pole with five supporting stones and the roughly round capstone is located in the approximately 10.0 × 6.0 m large mound bed . Only two pairs of bearing stones have survived from the south-facing corridor, the cap stones are missing. 17 curb stones have been preserved from the megalithic bed, most of which are tilted and partly covered by the earth.

There are six less well-preserved round and long jets in the vicinity.
